Yet I will distress Ariel,
    and there shall be moaning and lamentation,
    and she shall be to me like an Ariel.
And I will encamp against you round about,
    and will besiege you with towers
    and I will raise siegeworks against you.
Then deep from the earth you shall speak,
    from low in the dust your words shall come;
your voice shall come from the ground like the voice of a ghost,
    and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.

Your voice will come ghostlike(H) from the earth;
    out of the dust your speech will whisper.(I)
